The Smartcrypt Enterprise Manager is the central component of the Smartcrypt platform, allowing organizations to implement enterprise-wide encryption policies and maintain control over all encryption activity.

The Smartcrypt for Files and Folders agent enables data discovery, encryption, and decryption on desktops, laptops, and mobile devices. The agent is installed on each device that will be used to access or store sensitive information.

Smartcrypt is the most flexible and powerful IBM Z encryption solution available. Smartcrypt protects both structured and unstructured data, gives customers the option to embed encryption directly into their applications, and can secure mainframe databases with field-level, length-preserving encryption.

Smartcrypt Application Encryption is the ideal solution for organizations who need to incorporate strong encryption into their products or systems. A powerful software development kit, Smartcrypt Application Encryption delivers high performance, cross-platform security that is easily embedded, insulating sensitive data from weaknesses in other systems that may handle the information.

Whitepapers

Even though perimeter and network security have failed time and time again to secure data, few organizations understand how to properly implement data-centric security. This paper defines data-centric security, and provides not only an overview of its key principles, but also best practices for designing and implementing an effective solution.

When organizations can simultaneously identify and encrypt sensitive information on file servers and user devices, they gain unprecedented control and visibility over their data, eliminating the obstacles to true enterprise information security.

Each time an organization sends sensitive data outside its own network, it exposes itself to risks. PKWARE's Smartcrypt facilitates policy-based secure data
exchange, without security gaps and without
disrupting user workflows.

The strength of any cryptosystem depends in large part on the unpredictability of the data used in the encryption process. Unfortunately, some of today’s most commonly-used sources of “random” data depend on inputs that have the potential to inject predictable data, and therefore weakness, into the process.
